A Portable Pulsed-IF RCS Measurement System

From: Vol. 51 | No. 1 | January 2008 | Page 168

by QuarterBranch Technologies Inc.

Emerging radar cross section (RCS) measurement needs are making it increasingly necessary to take the measurement system to the target, rather than take the target to a fixed measurement site. With this in mind, QuarterBranch Technologies Inc. set out to build the first truly portable pulsed-IF RCS measurement system without sacrificing capabilities that most users require. The result is RadarMan, with a core unit that can attain measurement speeds rivaling the practical limits of other systems, with equal measurement sensitivity.

Real-time plotting capabilities are extensive, including near real-time inverse synthetic-aperture radar (ISAR) and SAR imaging. In addition to the real-time plotting package, each RadarMan system includes a single-seat license of QuarterBranch’s offline processing/plotting package, Data Display.
